The bot problem is rising and real.

[Hash_Browns]

Someone actually mentioned that their bank straight-up blocked transactions with SE presumably because of all the chargeback fraud the bots were doing.

This reminds me of a similar situation that happened with RS years, and year ago.
They had to remove free trade because bots were killing the game.

RuneScape had such a bot problem that banks threatened Jagex.
Either stop the CC fraud, or they will refuse Jagexs transactions all together.

Jagex was forced so have a dedicated bot busting team, and continues to do so to this day because of how bad it hurt the game.
